Ferri di cavallo, Amuleti e Talismani: portano davvero fortuna?

Horseshoes, Amulets, and Talismans: Do They Really Bring Good Luck?

From stones to horns to the most diverse objects. Here's what we know about "lucky charms."

Man's profound and archaic need to protect himself through talismans and amulets is so ingrained, even today, that it is difficult to speak about it clearly and calmly. Often when dealing with these issues it is easy to find oneself faced with radical positions that have no reason to exist. Yet it is easy to understand that man has always sought in nature forms of protection from subtle forces and energies that could harm him. The awareness that there are certain external, invisible agents that harm good health, serenity, or simply weaken one's energy, pushed early humans to seek refuge in some stone, in some symbol carved into a rock, in certain metals... Over the centuries and millennia, this ancient belief has transformed into an art and a science, or rather, a true body of knowledge. An ancient wisdom. The negative energies that were attacking human beings, both internally and physically, needed to be counteracted. A remedy had to be found, a sort of shield to repel the attacks of unknown forces. Every culture has developed its own amulets and talismans. But what's the difference between an amulet and a talisman? These two terms are often considered synonymous, but that's not the case at all. The underlying concept of talismanic culture is that man is made of clay and, as such, contains within himself every element contained within it, including metals. Modern science has since confirmed this theory. Indeed, man also contains small percentages of certain metals such as lead, copper, iron, and so on. Talismans are extremely personal objects, created specifically for a specific individual. Their preparation is therefore very long and elaborate: a sort of tailor-made suit. Essentially, according to ancient alchemists, a bodily imbalance of metals would lead to a greater receptivity to negativity. That is, an imbalance capable of making us more vulnerable to dark forces. For this, a shield was needed. A personal shield, based on the individual's imbalance, on their needs and aspirations, on their abilities and desires... an object that was later called a "talisman." Creating a talisman therefore requires extensive knowledge. The weight of the object must be calculated to the nearest milligram, considering the appropriate doses of the various metals required: precisely according to the subject's needs. Each inscription or engraving is specially designed, the subject's date of birth must be taken into account, and there are only certain days of the year in which talismans can be made. The talisman must be melted in a new crucible, which is then destroyed, and the correct lunar phase must be awaited for its creation. There are many ancient laws that govern the creation of talismans. Amulets, on the other hand, are objects that aren't so precisely customizable. They're "lucky charms" that can be used on anyone. A talisman cannot be worn by anyone other than the person it was created for, whereas an amulet can be worn by anyone and will have the same effects on everyone. Coral horns, rabbit feet, horseshoes, unique medallions... there are countless and diverse traditional amulets. They all have one common purpose: protection. In fact, one of the clearest differences between an amulet and a talisman lies precisely in their function: the talisman is charged with its own energy, active, capable of stimulating, able to act in certain situations and conditions. Amulets, on the other hand, have a generally protective and passive function. Amulets are generally mass-produced, often industrially, and are then charged with a protective function by an occultist. The talisman is created directly by the occultist/operator by giving his own matter powers that transform it from inert matter to talisman. As mentioned above, every culture has developed its own talismans and amulets. Often, traditions have developed to the point of offering a vast array of forms and substances for the creation of these powerful protections. Many cultures and traditions have merged, generating increasingly powerful and diverse protections. Each tradition has defended and protected its own knowledge, but those who research carefully can easily find important insights in the esoteric world. Over the millennia, evolution has been immense, and it's not uncommon to find talismans made of non-metallic materials. In this regard, you can see below 33 extremely powerful talismans linked to the Rosicrucian tradition. Their prayers are capable of calling upon energies and angels to protect specific conditions.
